the united states is apologizing. juan, was that inappropriate? >> well i don't, first of all, i think the death took place later. so at the time what you had was the embassy in libya under attack and an affirmation of our principles, which is that we're a country that respects all religions and want to make it clear that a minister burning the koran in florida, it may be in keeping with our free speech ideals but we don't as an american government embrace that. the american government, the american people didn't embrace that. we want to make it very clear. we're not about trying to insult anybody and we get upset when muslims say nasty things or attack christians. we, as an american people are tolerant of religious differences. so i think that is what they were trying to say. they were trying to calm water,s in a diplomatic statement, jon. they weren't apologizing for anything. jon: we'll have to leave it there. >> if it weren't inappropriate the white house wouldn't have backed off it. they know it was inappropriate. they tried to pull it back.
